Did anyone see this coming at the start of this year? Especially with a fairly strong Pacific division forming in the past few years?

Nope, not me.I really thought that Sellane would probably retire, and that one of their big three would get traded, probably Ryan. And their defence was a shambles last year! I think it may have just been the right coach at the right time . . . but whatever it is, they are playing very tight hockey.
